Information itemization - put notes into cargo/containers

I would like to be able to open my notepad, write a note - with instructions or bookmarks or Skill plans or secrets or a poem and put it as a page item into ship cargo or containers:

Note Item

I like to pack things in containers for contracts and it would be extra handy for the buyer to find some sort of manual on how to use bought items later.

It should always survive ship destruction and be 100% salvageable so whomever finds the wreck will read the note:
“I’ll get you, watch your 6”

it’s different from rage mail or direct message, it’s more visceral and personal despite being more pixels on the screen.

It could have other uses too:

  • Geocacheing but in space
  • Or luring others into a trap by placing bookmarks to other cans containing similar notes.
  • Or a readme file for corp station container/hangar for everyone to see, e.g. with code of conduct written down.

Should I mention a form of ACL management? Read/Write/Copy/Delete should do, right? With default Read to Public.

and If you add ISK itemization, just like you can do with PLEX, one could make welcome/reward container packs/crates for corp members with equipment, corp SKINs, ISK and a welcome note. Or a geocache with ISK inside.

Why this if PLEX itemization is a thing? Well, you first need to sell PLEX, just like any other valuable that would happen to be inside a geocache or welcome/reward pack. Plain, anonymous ISK in a can or wreck would be just pure convenience.

Sure. Not sure how involved this would be to implement an editable item, though. Let the scavenger hunt begin!

Why not? edited in response to above edit :slight_smile:

It actually used to be you could itemize bookmarks and edit them, and folks used them for “passing notes” purposes. So somewhere buried in a pile of bugs and decay the code exists.
